ron johnson probably read a few too many of his press clippings. if you watch the investor day he did a few months back when he first came to jcpenney, people thought he was crazy when he went to target and went to apple. and then he talks about how he went to steve jobs' house, saying, steve, i'm leaving for jcpenney. and he said, are you crazy? and he's saying, target was great, i went to apple was great and now we're in the same position with jcpenney and i'm going to work the same magic there. no, you can run shotgun with steve jobs all day long. steve jobs was the retail architect. >> we should note, andrew mason isn't on the list either. rocco joining us. >> thank you, guys. >> earlier this hour, you heard democratic senator mark warner's take on the fiscal cliff. now republican senator john barraso is coming up. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! oh...there you go. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! i'm gonna stand up to her! no you're not. i know. you know ronny folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico sure are happy. how happy are they jimmy? hap

joining us now senator ron johnson, republican from wisconsin. thanks so much for coming. >> good morning. >> i'm getting worried here. because clock is ticking. should we allow a vacation without legislation? >> no, i'm happy to stay here until we get this thing fixed. understand how absurd this process is. we've done this with the debt ceiling. with the super committee. now we're back here again where we've got two people, and they're unelected staffs negotiating the financial future of america. i mean this is absolutely absurd. and why is that? it's because the democrats haven't shown us their plan. we have nothing to compromise with. listen, i'm happy to work with anybody, who's willing to first acknowledge the problem. and then work with me in good faith to fix it. but i don't see that from the other side. i mean the house has passed two budgets, including proposals to save medicare. the democrats in the senate have not passed a budget in three years. they haven't voted for any plan whatsoever because they don't want their fingerprints on a

senator ron johnson will be joining us. and grove er nordquist. he is rite in the center of this base. a lot of people see him as a huge part of the problem. if you want to get something solved ahead of time. but there are others that say this is the right thing to be doing at this point. this is a full day of coverage. senator mark warner will be joining us, as well. a lot of people think if there's a compromise, it would start in the senate. obviously, a lot of questions as to what's happening. ross and kelly, it seems like things have gone a lot quieter than they had been for this week. for those on the inside, for those in the know, for those who have been watching for a long time in washington, they say it's a good thing because it probably indicates that talks are make some progress. you don't want to be talking out in front of the cameras when you may be making progress behind the scenes. at this point, quiet is probably a good thing. that's how we'll be looking at it, at least starting off this morning. >> becky, are you going to have to s

bush now an economics prof s professor at harvard and ron johnson, director at the institute for new economic thinking and a senior fellow at the roosevelt institute. skwre, good to have you both here. good morning. greg, let me just get you to bounce off of what corker said today. we've had a few senators here and there appear to give on taxes but corker laid it out pretty nicely, if you want to have a discussion about entitlements why wouldn't you get rates out of the way. does that mark a new chapter in these talks? >> it might well. and the whole issue, this whole package is going to look like, republicans have already conceded to some degree on revenue. they'll probably concede a little bit more. the question is what is the president willing to concede on the spending side? the liberal part of the democratic part of the party doesn't want to concede anything on entitlements. that's where the real problem is. the growth of entitlements is going to put us into bankruptcy unless we do something about it. >> do you believe giving him what he wants on rates forces his hand to impress

i don't know, but you can take a look at a company like jk penny with ron johnson. even every retailer, except one, who said give this guy more time. but usually the short-termism is a problem. you can see that the advisory firms, they have these ridiculous metrics for one year and three year barometers. it takes two or three years to fully take charge of this. and i think you're right, steve, the metrics are too short. sometimes if they are on a misguided path, we can correct it. vickram pandit, i frankly thought was mercuriel and imperious when he first stepped in there. he grew enormously in office. maria bartiromo had a tremendous interview with him. i thought he was defensive, yet his board understood him. board politics. >> i look forward to seeing you at the yale ceo summit. >> hi, dave. you should have run. joe is right, you should have run. >> we've already made him a czar. >> you end up consulting with a lot of ceos, a lot of corporate boards. from your perspective, what impact is the fiscal cliff having with regard to the situation? we've seen today a num

look at jcpenney, ron johnson did a lot of creative things, but it takes time to turn around and old line retailer. look at sears, that's probably never going to turn. i think jolie is on the right course here. and he's got a winning strategy. one that schulze didn't have. and i think he's going to pull it off. but he may be more than three months, he may be tied beyond that. but we'll see. i think the board is acting responsibly trying to get the price for the shareholders. i'm not going against going private, they just have to make sure the public shareholders don't sell out at rock bottom prices and are treated fairly. >> i can't imagine he will nail a bid at 20. if you're right and they won't accept anything less, he's going to have his chance to turn this thing around. bill george, thanks, as always. >> thank you. >> we have an important interview coming up. one of the most influential voices of the tea party. congressman mick mulvaney speaking out about boehner and much more. ♪ [ male announcer ] 'tis the season to discover the kid in all of us. enjoy free shipping and great
